(10,201 posts)Let's say you are working for tips. There are two parts to obtaining a tip. One is the total tab and the other is what's left over (this is the tip).
So you have the tab, which could have a charge for the CC which would go to the table for service which needs to be charged somewhere. So depending on if it's cash or charge would determine if it's good. So to get the money from the charge the diner would charge the card to the bill but not if it's cash, because then it's just money. So the money goes to the food and the tip is the extra. But if the extra is a charge then it costs money, so it goes to the restaurant, but the waiter needs a tip so they would need to get the extra, but only if it covers the extra. Now in the off chance that the charge is not extra the more goes to the server, but not all because it is customary to tip out the busser and the barkeep.
If you have not picked up by now that I'm yanking your chain... Well... I'm sorry.
